MLC x GTB: Promised Land

'Twas as insane a baseball game as I've witnessed in a while yesterday. For this half of the Misery Loves Company tandem bike, this was the (far more dramatic than needed) conclusion that we'd hope for when we resuscitated the baseball blogging. 

Deep exhale now. 

And now that exhale is over. Game 1 of the Wild Card series for the Mets begins today in Milwaukee at 5:30 ET.

But first, before that likely deflation of the Met balloon (Mr. Met's head?), let us please savor one day in NYM history that worked out like it was supposed to. Mind you, not by design. But the ultimate conclusion was more than a wee bit gratifying. 

It's best captured via a text thread between Marls, rob (sorta), and myself.

Takeaways: 

1. We emote a lot more vociferously at bad events than good. Where is our cheering?
2. We are convinced they will lose up until when they win. (Can you blame us??)
3. Rob needs to tune in sooner, even as a part-time new fan. 
4. Marls is a genius.
5. LFGM.
